The Ballotti Learning Center offers a variety of faculty services geared toward those who work closely with Suffolk’s student body.

We strive to provide the necessary resources to enhance both the instructor and student experiences, and in doing so, have developed the following programs.

Academic Coaching

Academic coaches work individually with students to clarify priorities and set goals. Students meet with professional staff members to create and execute a personalized plan.
Students are able to address difficulties with specific courses, strengthen study skills, get off academic probation, and much more.

Referring a Student for Academic Coaching

If you feel there is a student who might benefit from an Academic Coach, you can:

• Fill out the online Referral Form
• Call the BLC to inform a staff member of your concern
• Ask the student to set up an appointment at the BLC

Workshops

Workshops allow students to learn in an engaging and interactive manner, while sharing tips and advice with one another. Topics currently offered include:

• Learning Strategies - note-taking, textbook reading, test taking, and exam preparation strategies
• Finding Your Voice, Avoiding Plagiarism - a practical explanation of plagiarism, including what it is, why it is taken so seriously, and how to avoid it
• Time and Self-Management - how to manage life, work, and academic obligations
• Critical Note-Taking
